Rating: 4/5Nice board, great price

Pros: POSTed right away, no issues with any of my newer hardware, great price.

Cons: After installing Windows 7 Pro x64 neither of my PCI devices (a Linksys WMP300N wireless adapter and a Koutech PATA controller) were recognized. The BIOS saw them fine, and I had no issues with my old motherboard (ASUS P5Q-EM DO). I bought the board mainly because it's one of the few still around with legacy PCI slots. I ended up having to buy a SATA DVD Burner and a PCI-E Wireless Adapter to get back up and running. I don't know if the problem is with the board or with Windows.

Other Thoughts: This is the first motherboard I've used since the days of the 486 that POSTed right out of the box. I haven't tried overclocking yet, so I can't comment on how well it works.

Rating: 1/5Poor Power Terminals

Cons: The board initially powered up ok but when I moved the computer on the work bench it would not start. Pressing the power switch it only came on a sec and would do this each time. I swapped out the switch, no luck, I changed the power supply, no luck, I changed the memory, no luck, I disconnected every thing and only used hdd, no luck. Then I pressed the power plug down to make sure good fit, no luck. I then wiggled it and it came on. I had to hold the power plug in place for it to run. I sent it back and newegg sent a replacement but had same issue with the replacement. Sending back for refund.

Rating: 3/5loads Windows only

Cons: Win7 x86 is very sluggish. Memory lags and no more than 4 gigs can be installed.To install Linux a separate card like a CMD ATA-100 has to be used.BIOS does not allow the installation of a Hackingtosh or Linux.

Other Thoughts: Buy this if you plan to use Win7 X64 or Win8 X64 otherwise buy something else with a Bios that will recognize hardware that will be recognized.
